1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 6015B-UR/6015B-U/6015B-NTR/6015B-NT lies
the X7DBU, a dual processor serverboard based on Intel's 5000P chipset. Below
are the main features of the X7DBU (see Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the
chipset).
Processors
The X7DBU supports single or dual 771-pin Intel Xeon 5300/5100/5000 series pro-
cessors at a FSB speed of 1333/1066/667 MHz. Please refer to the serverboard
description pages on our web site for a complete listing of supported processors.
Memory
The X7DBU has eight 240-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to 32 GB of ECC
FBD (Fully Buffered DIMM) DDR2-667 or DDR2-533 SDRAM. The memory is an
interleaved confi guration, which requires modules of the same size and speed to be
installed in pairs. Please refer to Chapter 5 for memory speed jumper settings.
UIO (6015B-UR/6015B-U)
The X7DBU is a specially-designed serverboard that features Supermicro's UIO
(Universal I/O) technology. UIO serverboards have a PCI-Express x8 connector
that can support any one of several types of UIO card types to add SAS ports,
additional LAN ports, etc. to the serverboard. This allows the user to tailor the
serverboard to their own needs. Note: the 6015B-UR/6015B-U does not come
with a UIO card installed.
Serial ATA
An on-chip (ESB2) SATA controller is integrated into the X7DBU to provide a
six-port, 3 Gb/sec Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1 and 10 supported.
The SATA drives are hot-swappable units. Note: The operating system you use
must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability and RAID function of
the Serial ATA drives.
Onboard Controllers/Ports
One fl oppy drive controller and one onboard ATA/100 controller are provided to
support up to two IDE hard drives or ATAPI devices. The color-coded I/O ports
include one COM port, a VGA (monitor) port, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and
keyboard ports and two gigabit Ethernet ports.

Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6015B-UR/
6015B-U/6015B-NTR/6015B-NT up and running. Following these steps in the order
given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum amount
of time. This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the
processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated
with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or
section noted in each step for details on installing specifi c components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6015B-UR/6015B-U/6015B-NTR/
6015B-NT was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself
shows damage you should fi le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the 6015B-UR/6015B-
U/6015B-NTR/6015B-NT. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well
ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds are
generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to
read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 6015B-UR/6015B-U/6015B-NTR/6015B-NT was shipped
in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the
mounting screws you will need to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps
in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time.
Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure
outlined in the sections that follow.

UPERSERVER 6015B-UR/6015B-U/6015B-NTR/6015B-NT User's Manual
Choosing a Setup Location
- Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door
completely (~25 inches).
- Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.
- This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated
equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
- This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices according
to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
Rack Precautions
- Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the
oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
- In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
- In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
- Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the
rack.
- You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simul-
taneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
- Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
- Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the
rails.
- Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack fi rst, and then
work up.
- Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power
failure.
-
Allow the hot plug SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before touching
them.
-
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera-
ture of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the
room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient tempera-
ture (Tmra).
Reduced Airfl ow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airfl ow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not
arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power
supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself
should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connec-
tions other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the 6015B-UR/6015B-U/6015B-NTR/
6015B-NT into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the system has already
been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are
a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will
differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with
the rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: an inner fi xed chassis rail that secures directly
to the server chassis and an outer fi xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack
itself (see Figure 2-1). Two pairs of short brackets to be used on the front side of
the outer rails are also included.
Installing the Inner Rails
Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis.
Proceed to the next step. A
